- Comments
- AfHh-2, Pond Mills: Four radiocarbon samples were submitted with the site described as having two components, a Saugeen occupation underlying a major early prehistoric Neutral occupation. Except for S-2541, Poulton found the dates acceptable, and he speculated that S-2541 could conceivably pertain to an unrecognized Glen Meyer occupation. S-2542 indicates a late persistence of the Saugeen complex, while S-2540 and S-2544 suggest that the major occupation of the site should be attributed to late Middleport peoples. Lennox and Fitzgerald list the site as a 15th century Neutral agricultural cabin.
